​Corridor Identified for Improvements in Statewide Pedestrian Safety Action Plan 

(November 6, 2025) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will host a second public informational workshop, 5:30–7:30 p.m. Thursday, November 13, to provide additional information and gather more community input to improve pedestrian access and safety along MD 3 Business (New Cut Road/Crain Highway) in Anne Arundel County. The workshop will be held at Severn Run High School, 8065 New Cut Road, Glen Burnie. 

The State Highway Administration has identified the MD 3 Business corridor between Stevenson Road and Oak Manor Drive for safety improvements as part of its Pedestrian Safety Action Plan, which focuses on areas of need and prioritizes corridors for pedestrian and bicycle safety projects.  

At the last informational workshop held in November 2024, the SHA project team solicited feedback through conversation and comment cards. Members of the public also could offer comments online via the Project Portal. The team considered this input to create concepts that include upgrades to support safe pedestrian and bicyclist movements, traffic calming and corridor-wide safety improvements.

​At the follow-up workshop, project team members will be available to discuss details of the concept proposals. There will be no formal presentation. Attendees may arrive at any time during the workshop to view displays, ask questions and provide feedback. Materials also will be posted on the MD 3 Business Pedestrian Safety Action Plan Project Portal page.  

Those requiring assistance to participate in the workshop, such as those seeking an interpreter for hearing/speech difficulties or assistance with the English language, may email [email protected] in advance of the event. Please indicate the desired language in the subject line. Maryland Relay Service can assist teletype users at 7-1-1.  

Questions about the informational workshop or general inquiries may be directed to State Highway Administration Project Manager, Joseph P. Gentile, at [email protected] or Community Relations Manager Holly Pearl at [email protected].   

This project is consistent with the Maryland Department of Transportation’s Serious About Safety initiative, a department–wide commitment to advance improvements that drive safety goals and save lives. Working with community residents, officials and other stakeholders, the State Highway Administration is developing strategies to enhance safety for all roadway users along these corridors by increasing safety and mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists.  

The Pedestrian Safety Action Plan is a key component of the Maryland Department of Transportation’s Complete Streets Policy, which prioritizes safe, reliable, equitable and sustainable travel across all modes to make roads safer and connect Marylanders to jobs, education and economic opportunity. Projects under the Pedestrian Safety Action Plan also support Maryland’s Vision Zero goal to eliminate traffic fatalities and severe injuries on state roadways by 2030.
